. . . City Council :Minutes October 2, 2006 Page 7 Councilmember Gumphrey suggested having KKE come to the next Council meeting to discuss this matter further. 7. Council Updates There were no Council updates. 8. Staff Updates 8.1. YMCA Update Ms Johnson provided an update of the YMCA schedule. She introduced Facilities and Project Coordinator Phil Nyvall who will work with city staff on the construction of the YMCA. Ms. Johnson stated the YMCA revised its target opening date back to September 2008. She stated the first step in the process is to select an architect and the YMCA offered to do the preliminary review for producing a short list of architects. She questioned how the Council would like to proceed with selecting an architect. Councilmember Farber suggested KKE Architects because they would keep with the same theme of the current civil campus and they are working on the Library project. He stated it would shorten the work they need to do because they are familiar with the city campus. Mr. Nyvall stated it is a good idea to send out Request for Proposals to a list of 6-8 architects. Councilmember Gumphrey stated he would like to see a short list of 5-6 architects considered. He stated K.KE could be included in the list. Councilmember Dietz suggested the committee narrow the list of architects down to a few and then have the Council choose from that list. The Council concurred. 9. Adjournment There being no further business, Mayor Klinzing adjourned the meeting of the Elk River City Council at 8:30 p.m. Minutes prepared by Tina Allard. / d ./: ?J /~~[;
